With the tying run at third base, South Torrance pitcher Jake Scarpetti struck out West Torrance’s Daniel Timmerman to preserve a 2-1 nonleague baseball victory Wednesday at West.

“Jake threw an outside fastball for a called strike three. It was pretty dramatic moment,” South coach Grady Sain said.

Matt Bunch, Aki Yamamoto and Scarpetti combined on a two-hitter to overcome another strong performance by Timmerman, who was coming off a no-hitter against North Torrance.

Bunch allowed just one hit through 5-1/3 innings, striking out four and walking three.

“Matt set the tempo,” Sain said. “He commanded his fastball well and had a really nice breaking ball, throwing in some good sequences. We also had good defense behind him.”

Timmerman threw a six-hitter with three strikeouts and one walk, allowing just one earned run. Shun Tayama had an RBI groundout in the seventh to close within 2-1.

Gunner Johnson had an RBI single for South in the first inning, and Yuhei Okagawa drove in a run on a bunt single in the seventh for a 2-0 lead.
